I'm running Yokohama 225-50-15's on 6.5" wheels and they clear lock to lock on all 4 corners. I've heard they shouldn't clear on the front, but they do... I say go bigger on the back. 245's rear, 225 front. I'm going bigger with my next set of tires.

I don't know what the **** you are talking about. Bigger tires in the rear will cause the car to push on a track, and you can't even get a 245/45-15 let alone the proper 245/40-15 (with the exception of the Avon CR500 which you have to import yourself IIRC). A048s are shitty r-comps anyway; sell those 6.5s and get some 8 or 9" wide wheels and run 225/45-15 Nitto NT-01s all the way around.

I know they exist. Someone on this forum has them on some pretty 6UL's.

Just saying you can run a 225-50-15 on a 6.5" wheel. I've done it on two different cars. Works fine. Nothing crazy. Contact patch on the Yokohama's I have now measures 8.5" even though it's on a 6.5" wheel. I like the look personally. If I had to get tires, id get these over something smaller.

Anyone know if they will clear on the front of a 90-97, as I may build a track car which we can use an an NA test mule.

We could not get 225/50/15 to fit on a lowered NA at +15 offset with cut fenders and flares. 225/45/15s are supposed to fit fine. Before full lock the front of the tire would hit the front bumper support and the rear, the fender wall.
